Baseball Earns At-Large Berth to NCAA Tournament

The George Mason baseball team earned an at-large berth to the NCAA Baseball Championships on Monday afternoon and the Patriots will play South Carolina on Friday in an opening round contest. The Patriots, a third seed in the Greenville, N.C. Regional, will play the second-seeded Gamecocks at 3 p.m. East Carolina is the host institution and the No. 1 seed in the regional while Binghamton is the fourth-seed. Live audio for Mason's games in the NCAA Tournament will be available on GoMason.com.

The regional site is a double-elimination four-team event with the winner moving on to a Super Regional the following weekend at a site to be determined. The Patriots will be making their sixth NCAA Tournament appearance. They went to the tournament in 1985, 1988, 1992, 1993 and most recently in 2004. Mason is 1-10 all-time in the NCAA Tournament.

At 42-12, Mason has set a school record for wins and winning percentage. After leading the nation in winning percentage for most of the season, the Patriots currently find themselves second in the nation in that category trailing only Arizona State, which is 44-12. Only seven schools in the country have won more than Mason's 42 games.

The Patriots are 0-6 all-time against South Carolina with the last meeting coming in 2004 at Columbia, S.C., a 5-0 loss. Mason is 30-43 all-time against East Carolina but the teams have not met since ECU left the CAA after the 2001 season. The Patriots and Binghamton have never met.

Camp Details

Bill Brown's Youth Fundamentals Baseball Camp is designed to provide young baseball players (ages 7-13) the opportunity to expand their baseball skills while preparing for the upcoming Spring season. Each 1 ½-hour session will be split between hitting and defensive instruction. The hitting instruction will focus on building a fundamentally sound swing from the ground up. Defensive instruction will include proper throwing mechanics and position-specific instruction. Campers will leave each week with drills and techniques to incorporate into their daily baseball development.

We have assembled a veteran group of coaches and counselors experienced in camp instruction dedicated to helping each and every camper become a better baseball player. The camp staff combines years of baseball experience and knowledge with the enthusiasm and desire to personally work with the camper.

Our purpose is to provide each camper with the instruction and encouragement needed to develop individual skills to a greater level. In addition, we want the camper to be aware that individual skills are best utilized when they are incorporated into a team concept. We will emphasize how individuals work together on a field to form a baseball "team."

GMU Camp FAQs

Q. What should I bring to my baseball camp or showcase camp?

A. Many times the camp itself will have a recommended list of items to bring to camp, but here are a few things to help you. All position players should bring a bat and glove. Look like a baseball player by wearing a hat, jersey, belt, baseball socks, etc. You need to look the part. If you are a catcher, have your own gear. Hitters, bring your bat and helmet just in case. Don't expect to use the college's equipment and you must be ready to go! Borrow something from a teammate or coach if you do not have one.

"I just wanted to take a moment to tell you how much we thought of the camp. It was without a doubt one of the most worthwhile experiences that my son has ever taken part in. You have a great structure and I have not seen any better program for the teaching of solid baseball skills. I will without a doubt reccomend your program to anyone that is looking for a camp experience for their high school age player."
